Happy Birthday to our National Hero & Belated Philippine Independence Day

I know were celebrating 2 holidays today (June 19):  Father's Day & the Filipinos National Hero's Birthday - Dr. Jose Rizal.  Since I've had dedicated a number of postings in advance to Father's Day,  let me dedicate this post to Dr. Jose Rizal's Birthday and our Philippine Independence Day last June 12.  

For this 2 occasions, I would like to share previously created LOs and a card that is apt for the 2 national holidays:
